Lumia 920 battery charging...

[jeghegy]

Hello, first time posting, please be gentle...:wink:

I have a Lumia 920 that has fallen in to saltwater, together with me. Since then, the phone starts up, but stuck at the charge screen as shown below. It can be plugged in for 24-hours, the charged level does not change. Is it the battery that dead, or the phone in itself is done? I don't have a new battery to test it, but could get one if the phone is a OK...
TIA...

If it went into salt water it's not good, if you could have got it apart soon after it took the dip and you could have blown it with canned air and maybe flushed it with some Isopropanol you may have saved it, But I don't know if it would help now, salt water is so destructive on the inside of a phone.

Actually, I did take it apart and flushed it with distilled water, blew it out with canned air and let it dry for couple of days. The light does come on like the first time the phone start, but it does not pass the red battery charge display.
